With increasingly stringent industrial environmental protection standards, the operational stability of pulse bag filters—the core equipment for dust pollution control—relies heavily on the selection of their key components. As the "heart" of the dust cleaning system, the electromagnetic pulse valve directly determines the dust removal effect, operating resistance, and energy consumption of the filter. For industrial users, selecting the right pulse valve model based on actual working conditions has become a critical technical issue.
Two Mainstream Types: Structure Determines Application Scenarios
At present, right-angle and submerged electromagnetic pulse valves are the two most widely used models in the industry. They differ significantly in structural design and performance, making them suitable for distinct working conditions.
Technical Characteristics of Right-Angle Pulse Valves
Structural Features: The right-angle pulse valve is designed with its inlet and outlet arranged at a 90° angle. It contains an internal diaphragm that separates the upper and lower air chambers, supported by an electromagnetic actuator and a reset spring.
Working Principle: When energized, the electromagnetic force lifts the diaphragm to release pressure in the upper chamber. The pressure difference then pushes the diaphragm open to complete the air-blowing process. When power is cut off, the spring resets the diaphragm and closes the valve.
Performance & Applications: This type features a compact structure and small installation space, but it has relatively high air path resistance and lower blowing efficiency. It is ideal for working conditions with low air supply pressure, small dust collectors, and general dust cleaning requirements.
Technical Characteristics of Submerged Pulse Valves
Structural Features: The body of a submerged pulse valve is directly installed inside the air bag, with its diaphragm mounted on the air bag. This design shortens the air path and greatly reduces energy loss during operation.
Working Principle: When powered on, the diaphragm deforms to open the blowing channel, allowing high-pressure air to spray out rapidly. When powered off, the diaphragm resets automatically to stop the blowing action.
Performance&Applications: Submerged pulse valves feature low air path resistance, high blowing efficiency, strong jet force, and long injection distance. They are suitable for large air volume systems and high-demand dust removal conditions, though they require larger installation space and matching air bag sizes.
Key Selection Criteria for Right-Angle & Submerged Pulse Valves
1. Handling Air Volume Matching
For working conditions with large air volume and high dust concentration (such as dust removal at cement kiln tails and steel sintering machines), submerged pulse valves are the preferred choice. For small air volume scenarios (including small workshops and laboratory dust removal), right-angle pulse valves are more appropriate.
2. Air Source Pressure Adaptation
Right-angle pulse valves perform best at an air source pressure of 0.4–0.6 MPa, while submerged pulse valves are designed for 0.5–0.8 MPa.
3. Installation Space Constraints
Right-angle pulse valves are recommended for space-limited projects or old facility renovations. For new factories or projects with sufficient installation space, submerged pulse valves are a more efficient option.
4. Dust Cleaning Requirements
For high-viscosity dust, long filter bags, and difficult dust cleaning tasks, choose submerged pulse valves. For loose, easy-to-clean dust with low requirements, right-angle pulse valves are sufficient.
5. Comprehensive Cost Consideration
Right-angle pulse valves have lower manufacturing costs, while submerged pulse valves involve higher comprehensive costs. Enterprises should balance performance and investment budget based on actual needs.
Industrial Application Cases
Cement Plant Kiln Tail Dust Removal System: With large airflow volume, high dust viscosity, and an air source pressure of 0.6–0.8 MPa, submerged pulse valves were selected. The system achieved a dust removal efficiency of over 99.9% and maintained stable system resistance.
Small Machining Workshop Dust Removal: Due to small air volume, 0.5 MPa air pressure, and limited space, right-angle pulse valves were applied. They fully met dust removal standards while effectively controlling investment costs.
Configuration Principles of Electromagnetic Pulse Valves for Bag Filters
The dust removal efficiency of a bag filter depends on precise matching between the pulse valve and the entire system. The injection performance of the pulse valve directly affects equipment resistance, processing air volume, and emission concentration.
Coordination Logic of the Dust Cleaning System
The pulse valve injects airflow through the blowing pipe into the filter bag, increasing internal pressure and making the dust cake fall off efficiently. The blowing effect is affected by the air distribution box, air supply stability, filter bag parameters, dust cleaning mode, and control system.
Constraints on Injection Air Volume
There is no universal fixed formula for calculating the injection air volume of electromagnetic pulse valves. It is comprehensively affected by air box volume and pressure, air supply capacity, dust characteristics, filtration speed, equipment resistance, blowing pipe structure, filter bag specifications, and dust cleaning methods.
Industry Responsibility & Technical Practice
Pulse valve manufacturers should provide authentic product parameters, testing methods, and application cases to support scientific model selection. Dust collector design institutions should combine actual working conditions and test data to complete accurate valve selection and system matching.
The bag filter industry pursues a balance between scientific rigor and practical application. Optimizing model selection based on theoretical principles and project experience will continuously improve the standardization of pulse valve configuration.
Scientific Model Selection Boosts Industrial Development
Selecting an electromagnetic pulse valve is not just a simple product replacement—it is a comprehensive decision involving pneumatic principles, material science, and systems engineering. Scientific selection effectively reduces equipment energy consumption, extends filter bag service life, and ensures environmentally compliant emissions.
With the upgrading of industrial environmental protection standards and continuous technological iteration, the performance and selection system of pulse valves will be further optimized, providing more reliable technical support for industrial dust control.
